THE census returns of 1880 are no fair
manufacturing interests, yet they furnish an
approximate and relative basis of estimate.
By that census Indianapolis ranked twenty
first in a list of one hundred cities, according
to value of manufactured products. Its
manufacturing establishments numbered 6SS,
with an aggregate capital of $40, O49 500,
paying $3.917, IA year in wages, using
$40, 1885, 102 worth of materials, and turning
out So, 453, 0S9 of products. For present
estimate it would be safe to add at least SO
per cent. to all these figures. There is not a
manufacturing establishment in the city that
was here in 1880 that has not largely in
creased its business since then, while many
new ones have sprung up. There are num-
Der of establishments here now that ship
goods to all parts of the United States and to
foreign countries. This growth has been
steady, solid and healthy, and has occurred
without any special advantages in the way of
cheap fuel True, we have had good coal and
plenty of it, but not at an exceptionally low
rate. The growth of our manufacturing in
terests in recent years has been mainly due
to our geographical location and railroad ad-
vantages. Nothing could prove more clearly
the city's merits as a manufacturing center.
Cheap fuel will place it easily ahead of all
competition

Under an open ordinance, properly restricted,
all the local natural gas companies that can

feasible right to enter upon the work of piping
gas at once. There is no discrimination
against local capital or local organization.
But gas is of more Importance than senti-
whether the capital that brings it here, under
proper regulations, be foreign or domestic

in our streets, it will be domestic capital. In

cusly upon place of this character whose
benefits they not expected TO share. If
the citizen of African descent is animated by
a spirit of retaliation he will close the doors of
his hostelry against all but those of his own
color, and no can blame him; but, being
of generous nature, it is rather to be expect

THE discovery has been made that hither-

liquors at private tables on Sundays. This
discovery has created CONSERVATION among

forced; but fear that its constitutionality will
be questioned and the entire law put in peril

IT is not mere coincidence that those States
whose laws provide the strictest control for the
liquor traffic are Republican States. It is
of and effect clear the noon of a
cloudless day.-Philadeiphia Press.
THE state of journalism in New York city is
curiously illustrated by the reports of Roose-
velt's speech. bitter and malignant passage

acknowledgements of his obligations to the indie
pendents appear in the Times, but not in the
Tribune-Sprngfeld Republican.
SENATOR VOORHEES,, of Indiana, says that the
Republicans have no chance carry amy South
State next year. but he is rather careful not
to pledge his own State against the Republican
candidate for President. No doubt the Senator
would be willing to put up small Euargin on
Indiana if the Democrats would do much for
him they did for Mr.. Hendricks in 1SS4.-De-

A "GAPITALu IDEA.

A prominent railroad man who divides his
time between indianapolis and New York,
and sees a good deal of Eastern capitalists,
said, yesterday: Indianapolis does not stand
very well among Eastern capitalists 1t has
the reputation of being a hard town to deal
with, and wanting to milk everything dry
that comes along, Capitalists are always
willing to give down little, but they don't
want to be MIXED dry and kept on short feed
in the bargain" The bovine illustration will
be as well understood here as anywhere and,
stripped of its igurative language it states
wanted to come here, and under proper
encouragement would have come, have
been driven away by receiving a
cold shoulder instead of a cordial well
come. Eastern capital does not have to
knock twice at the doors of Cleveland, st.
Paul, Minneapolis Milwaukee and other
Western cities. They not only invite, but
encourage foreign capital to come there. In
dianapols should profit by their example.
The gentleman quoted above is a shrewd
business man, himself capitalist, and knows
whereof he speaks. Indianapolis has suffered
from lack of local capital, lack of local enter
prise from dry rot, and from short sighted,
parrow- minded policy that wanted ito milk
everything dry" Whether it will continue
to suffer from these drawbacks remains to be
seen. It is to be hoped not. The time is
ripe and the conditions favorable for new
departure. All that is needed is the will, the
determination and prompt action. The ruling
idea of the new departure should be to throw
the doors wide open, invite capital and COM
them with both hands.

JUSTICE COMPARED.

The quality of Kentucky justice is receiv-
ing some deserved compliments in the case of
Turner, the colored murderer of Jennie Bow
man, who was indicted, arraigned, found gull
ty and sentenced to be hanged, all within an
hour. The man pleaded guilty, and as there
was reason for delay the wheels of justice
moved rapidly. This infinitely better
than to have had the murderer hanged by
lynch law. The ends of justice are fairly
served, and the disgrace of mob murder is
avoided. It should be remarked, however,
that the proceedings in this case were simpli-
fed and aided by the color line. If the muir
derer had been white man, and his victim
colored girl, the triumph of justice would
hardly have been so speedy. On the same
day that Turner was disposed of verdict was
rendered in another case which presents diff
ferent phase of Kentucky justice. This was
the case of Thomas Crittenden, grandson
of Judge Crittenden, who, four years ago,
murdered negro in cold blood. Upon the prov
ocation of slight quarrel with the colored
man, Crittenden went away, procured shot
killed him. It was a clear case Of murder,
but in two trials the jury was unable to agree
Finally, convenient witnesses were found who
made out a case of self-defense. and on Fri
day last Crittenden was acquitted The Louis
vile Commercial says:
'Does any sane man believe that if this
negro had shot Crittenden, even in self
defense. that either his liberty or his life
would have been spared him9 Would not
mob of respectable, but indignant" citizens
have taken him to the nearest tree and hanged
him9 But the case is different. 1t was the
grandson of distinguished Kentuckian who
murdered a negro. 1t would have been "blot
on the scutcheon" to have sent him to the
penitentiary. He had to be liberated at any
cost, and he was given his freedom in a man
eminently satisfactory to those who inter
ested themselves in his welfare"
This brave and truthful comment shows
that the contrast afforded by the two cases
can be recognized even by Kentucky eyes. -

THE Journal does not need to say that it is
not opposed to local capital and organization
supplying gas to the city. The interests of
and. all other things being equal, our first
duty and privilege would be to advocate a
home company. But we advocate no COM
yany. We want an open ordinance passed,
under which any and all companies ready for
work will be welcomed to the important task
of piping and supplying natural gas to our
homes and factories.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-05-17

THE proposed resolution of the committee
of sixteen, representing the cooperative gas
bag scheme, is dangerous nonsense. The
people of Indianapolis do not want any ex-
elusive ordinance, whether for foreign or a
domestic corporation, and they do rot want
to fritter away valuable time while estimable
gentlemen are chasing butterflies. Judge
Claypool. Judge Holman, and Mayor Denny
talked sense. The scheme is utterly imprac.
ticable and illegal; no appreciate amount of
money be raised for it among our people,
and citizens are anxious for practical work by
the Councils. The report of the committee
that visited Pittsburg seems to be sensible
and practicable, and should be pushed to
speedy enactment.
